hello blog my old friend. been too long huh? but its 2 months since i last saw you...and at the insistence of many i must put something up on you. so the last time i posted was after the exams...seemed like a whole holiday of fun and slacking planned out before me...but then wham!! its a whole new year and im back in school =( stupid cycle of life...now all that remains are memories so first holiday training...i skipped like half of them cus i was overseas or busy or otherwise occupied but i gotta say the ones we did attend pretty productive...doesnt really matter now though cus thanks to unfortunate circumstances this year my seasons probably over before its even started =( but dont worry man if youre thinking its your fault...just rest and well give it another shot the next chance we get if you still want...the C2s always here. this year finally got to help out in actual vbc. pretty fun staying over in church and taking care of the kids and all...its more of a camp that way. and not so tiring cus dont have to run after most of the kids...just yanlins brother...but he was a fun kid =) JYC or CYC or whatever it was this year was super fun. i got a group that i hardly knew but over the 4 days made lots of new friends =) and even though camp wasnt as massive an event as it was last year still had a great impact on me and really was lots of fun. went to KL after that like every year...but somehow this year it came as a better chance to rest...maybe after 15 years theres just something about that place that gives me calm =) discovered a new running route that moves around this huge housing estate under a hill...super nice view...and discovered that gyms dont believe im 18 anymore =( still got in though. went to penang halfway through that trip...stayed in the 'g' hotel with super nice super cheap rooms...and a lounge and bar called the g spot O.o spent most of the time there eating and using hotels gym...but made a few friends and all in all it was lots of fun too =) so ya honestly the holidays were a great rest and really good time to relax and take a break. wouldnt have hurt if it were longer though...but with stuff like church camps and parties and stayovers and everything it really made last holiday a memorable 2 months =) now just gotta go through 10 more!! i have to say though...even though they were fun and all...holiday were still stuffed full with worries. and thinking about it thats kinda sad...even when im on break i got stuff to worry about!! but then again lifes never worry-free, is it. is it...? i guess everyone has insecure moments once in awhile...or more than that. and hard to believe but honestly no one themselves have the answers. no ones born with that rare uncanny ability to analyse and amend issues the rest of us just seem to struggle with unceasingly.
through the holidays the time let me visit different churches...in singapore kl and even in penang. and yet coincidentially they preached the same message, reassuring me that God would comfort me and make things better...and i honestly have to say that i had trouble believing it. after all, isnt it just the words of a pretty much blind optimist to say that problems fix themselves.
but in camp i was prayed for...and one line changed things.
"He has said that He would give nations for you"
troubles and issues i have may seen far beyond me...and honestly they are. and lots of times these challenges arent concluded it the manner id like. but i guess instead of thinking that thats God not answering my prayers...its God doing so in the way that He sees best...and though it may seem unreasonable and stupid at times...He knows better than any of us, and any trust in Him, no matter how unwise it may logically seem, is never unfounded.
He has a plan for you and me...for each and every one of His children...and as a God that truly would give nations for you, what else would He have in store for you that is any less than the best He could want for you?
all He asks for is faith.
God will make a way
When there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way
You hold my every moment
Calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
You heal all my disease
I trust in You
I trust in You
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need
Healer
Hillsong
This Is Our God
He holds our world in His hands...so what have we to fear that things arent going exactly as He's planned?
